Today, Dec. 5, we can all celebrate Prohibition Repeal Day (hooray) with news that local distillery Atelier Vie is releasing Toulouse Red, which will be the first absinthe distilled in New orleans since the absinthe ban of 1912. A hundred years seems like far too long a time to go without a hometown absinthe contender, but now, for the price of $60, you can order a 750 ml of the "lush red" liquor at the distillery.
